TAKITEZ was designed and buit by Ron Durbin, a professional structural steel engineer, for his own use. The design was based on Robert Tucker's Scylla 44, a stretched Ryton 38. She was well-known for many years as a reliable all-weather cruiser in the Irish Sea. Her present owner bought her after Ron died, cruised the Menai Straits and brought her ashore in Rhyl for a refit. Her mizzen mast is currently unstepped. She was last surveyed in August 2011 after all rigging had been renewed in stainless steel.
She acquired her unusual name, pronounced "Takiteezee", after Ron suffered an eye injury during her construction. An Asian doctor tried to dissuade Ron from discharging himself from hospital, repeatedly urging, "Tak' it easy, Mr Durbin".
